Taken to task

It's going to feel like you can't do anything right at work this week, and guess what — you can't. Saturn is especially exacting in the zodiac sign of Scorpio, and when it forms a square to Mercury (Jan. 25), you can expect all of your figures to be reviewed, your paperwork to be examined and even your appearance to be critiqued. So what's gotten into the higher-ups? Chances are that they themselves are feeling pressured to cut costs and boost sales. This won't be a passing phase. You can expect some very real changes in policy in the upcoming weeks. Be cooperative and do what you can to incorporate corrections, and you will emerge from this with both your sanity and your job intact.

You believe that if you can't do something, then it can't be done. Mostly, you're right because few people can match you for talent, skill and ingenuity. But you might want to revisit that notion on Jan. 23. If a co-worker or employee is convinced that she can succeed where you did not, then why not give her a chance to find out for herself? At the very least, it will prove that you were right all along. And if she succeeds? Then you'll win points for believing in her when nobody else did.
